Thanks Markie, this was my favorite part:
(re: the libertines) "the sound is ragged and their performances of The Boys in the Band and What a Waster sound as if they could collapse into clattering noise at any moment. But it barely matters. The presence of singer and guitarist Pete Doherty somewhere behind a wall of nervous-looking bouncers, released from prison barely a week ago, lends it a genuine sense of joyous celebration, somewhere between the Sex Pistols at the 100 Club and an end-of-term gig in the school hall."
I'm surprised the writer didn't talk about any new songs they may have/have not played.

Thanks Smackie…..

The guardian has odd viewpoints, but no more odd than pitchfork. the two pages I posted are both updated every other day or so normally.
